On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for January rose to 4.8% with 227,000 new jobs created. Oil prices are up a couple of bucks to the $53 level, with no noticeable change locally in gasoline and heating oil prices.

On the financial front, my asset levels have once again reached an all-time high, breaking the previous high from January 2017. I'm also still on track to make my final 2016 Roth IRA and SEP IRA contributions before my S Corp and personal income tax returns are filed.

Other than that, we've been dealing with several blasts of snow over the past few days. The young Frugalsons had two school days cancelled last week followed up by a two hour delay this morning. I am officially ready for Spring. :)
